WoHOOO ! Some Spam !

Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet
In your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

I can imagine. It makes me think it would be very much like newcastle is some respects - quire rural in parts, industrial run-down and poor in others.

And Yorkshire What is amazing really, is outside of the major cities, England is pretty much the same anywhere you go. Just consider the similarity of the countrysides of Yorkshire, Cornwall, Gloucestershire...other than perhaps the Fens which is pretty flat and boring, England can be a very pretty place.

A song for those of us that have left our home towns...sung by a Bradford band, but could be about Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham or any other major town...

Green and Grey - New Model Army

The time I think most clearly
The time I drift away
Is on the bus ride that meanders
Up these valleys of green and grey
I get to think about what might have been
And what may yet come true
And I get to pass a rainy mile
Thinking of you

And all the while
All the while
I still hear that call
To the land of gold and poison
That beckons to us all

Nothing changes here very much
You used to say it never will
The pubs are all full on Friday nights
And things get started still
We spent hours last week with Billy Boy
Bleeding, yeah, queuing in in casualty
Staring at those posters we used to laugh at
Never never land, palm trees by the sea

Well there was no need for those guys to hurt him so bad
When all they had to do was knock him down
But no-one asks too many questions like that anymore
Since you left this town

And tomorrow brings another train
Another young brave steals away
But you're the one I remember
From these valleys of green and grey

You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
As if that was all there was
As if we were not the same blood family
As if we lived by different laws
Do you owe so much less
To these rain swept hills
Than you owe to your good self
Is it true that the world has always got to be
Something that seems to happen - somewhere else

For godsakes don't you realise
That I still hear that call
Do you think yourself so brave
Just to go running to
That beckons to us all?

And tomorrow brings another train
Another young brave steals away
But you're the one I remember
From these valleys of green and grey

No, not for one second
Did you look behind you
As you were walking away
Never once did you wish any of us well
Those who had chosen to stay
And if that is what it takes to make it
In the place that you live today
Then I guess you will not read these letters I have sent
From these valleys of the green and the grey...

I'm such a fan of New Wave Music in the 80's. I'm trying to find songs by The Care (Flaming Sword), Modern English (Ink and Paper) and The Wild Swans (Whirlpool Heart) but so far no luck

But here's one of my favorites, Forever Young by Alphaville.

Forever Young
Alphaville

C G Am
Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
F G
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Am F
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
G6 - FMaj7 - G6 - C
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us stay young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sadman

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn out all the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman

C G
Forever Young
Am F
I want to be Forever Young
G Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F G
Forever, you'll never
C G
Forever Young,
Am F
I want to be Forever Young
G Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F G C
Forever Young.

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Years like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many advantages given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true

Chorus...

Solo...

Chorus..

[Maharlika]

Well, well, well... finally got the song Melt With You by Modern English

I Melt With You
Modern English

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
dropped in the state of imaginary grace
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(You should see why)
What I'm comprehending a race that long gone bye
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
[I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)]3x

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We've both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go

I used to say, "I and Me"
Now it's "Us"
Now it's "We"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
A friend
Like Ben

BEN as sung by Michael Jackson. Awesome love song for a rat.

"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd:

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?

I am so into this band right now. I just started listening to them, and I like them a lot. Can anyone recommend other good Pink Floyd songs?

[VoodooDali]

The older the Pink Floyd, the better, IMO. Always liked the album Meddle, also check out UmmaGumma and Atom Heart Mother. The Nile Song is awesome, I think it's on Meddle, could be on More? I can't remember back to those pot-infused high school daze...

As I walk along these streets
I see a man who walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

A boy just thirteen on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation theres no rioom in jail
But most of you dont give a sh*t
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

You turn away

As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

I was just about to post that one! You beat me to it...

[Georgi]

Some Embrace lyrics, in honour of the awesome gig I went to on Monday

"Many would learn and many would hurt and many would chase you away
And many would fear but I'm not here to run when things go astray

And many would learn and many would turn and many would run for their lives
But I'm not them I'll dig in I'll always be there by your side
Away way down

One day my heart will leap and I will dance for joy
And not reach for the phone the pills or the tape
Cause you're honest as a carwreck
And sirens never love
They just sing and lure your swimming soul away
Down with your mistakes
Away away down

By twist of fate and hour too late I come to my senses again
But you're not here just cold and near you left just as living made sense"
-Many Will Learn

Chris Isaak: the patron saint of dumped men:

Driving slowly, watching the headlights in the rain.
Funny how things change.
Think of the good times wishing you were still with me.
The way it used to be, graduation day.

Watching the stars fall, a million dreams have all gone bad.
Think of all we had.
I knew all then, thought you loved me I was wrong.
Life goes on, graduation day, oh, graduation day.


Thinking of a time when everything was right.
Thinking of a time with only you and I.
Makes me sorry that it had to end that way.
Learned my lesson now there's nothing left to say, graduation day, oh graduation day.

"The Unforgiven"
New blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares

to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub the unforgiven

you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub the unforgiven

"Nothing Else Matters"
So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

A shimmerwing wight
Gweam of a bwade
and the devil is paid
When the axe comes down
A chiwwing sound
Steel hits the head
another wabbit's dead

I'm a wabbit swayer
a guitar pwayer
with a nasty habit
kill the wabbit

huhuhuhuhuuhuuh

I'm a mean mistweater
and a wabbit feaster
and I pwedict

a scuwying shadow
And a shadow moves to stab it
and the night air echoes

"Hero Of The Day" by Metallica

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they go
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of despair
Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel
But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try

Here's a snipit of a Hilarious song:

When danger reared its ugly head
Sir Robin bravely turned and fled
("I did not!!" shouts Sir Robin)
brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin

[der Moench]

Here's one for all you Brits out there! "London Song," by that most British of Brits: Ray Davies. What a guy!

There's a room in a house in a street in a manor in a borough
that's part of a city that is generally referred to as London
It's a dark place, a mysterious place
And it is said that if you're born within the sound of Bow-Bells
you have the necessary qualifications to be christened a Londoner
[It's a cruel place, it's a hard place]
But when you think back to all the great Londoners
William Blake, Charles ****ens, **** Whittington,
pearly kings, barrow boys, Arthur Daley, Max Wall
and don't forget the Kray twins

But if you're ever up on Highgate Hill on a clear day
you can see right down to Leicester Square [London, London]
Crystal Palace, Clapham Common, right down to Streatham Hill
North and South, I feel that I'm a Londoner still [London, London]

Chiswick Bridge to Newham and East Ham
Churchbells ring out through the land
You were born in London, England
[London, London, through the dark alley-ways and passages of London]

And there's a tap by a reservoir, leading to a stream,
that turns into a river estuary that eventually opens to the sea
[London, London]
And there's a docker by a wharf, sending cargo overseas,
unloading foreign trade from a large ocean vessel
in the mighty metropolitan port of London
[London, London, through the dark alley-ways and passages of London]

When I think of all the Londoners still unsung
East-enders, West-enders, Oriental-enders
Fu Manchu, Sherlock Holmes, Jack Spock, Henry Cooper,
Thomas A'Becket, Thomas Moore, and don't forget the Kray twins

There's a part of me that says "Get out"
Then one day I'll hear somebody shout
"Sounds to me like you come from London Town"

But if you're ever up on Highgate Hill on a clear day,
I'll be there [I'll be there]
Yes I will be there [there]
Through the dark alley-ways and passages of London, London
London, London, through the dark alley-ways and passages of London, London
London, London, through the dark alley-ways and passages of London, London

Peace.

[Lazarus]

David Byrne on the subject of Man versus Nature. Very interesting view:

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

"Master of Puppets"
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season

Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

"For Whom the Bell Tolls"
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run throught the endless grey
On they fight, for they sre right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alivethrough the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be

Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
